Which Swiss Army Knive???

I like the Victorinox One-Handed Fireman. Can be opened one-handed, has locking blade, and most of the good stuff.

Amazon.com has them for $30.99 postpaid
 
Classic on my keychain, Ranger in my pocket or backpack. I like the Ranger because it's the smallest I can find with the sissors, saw, and file.
 
The Victorinox Fieldmaster.
It has just the right amount of tools without being too bulky.
And it has the phillips instead of the corkscrew--which is how I like it.
 
I like the Huntsman for all around use, it has a good tool selection in a rather compact package.

For outdoors use the Electrician Plus and Farmer are hard to beat, alox rocks!

Fro city carry I really like Wenger's Sécurité SAKs. I usually carry one that has the same tools as a Victorinox Climber plus a universal wrench and a phillips screwdriver.
 
For everyday "office" wear, I like the Bantam Alox a lot. Just a blade and a screwdriver\bottle opener. Very slim and light. Looks a little fancy although its pretty cheap.

The blade is good for light cutting like you'd do around an office setting and the bottle opener is great in case a party breaks out at 5:00!
 
I like the Explorer with the enhanced scales.
I really need both phillips and corkscrew, and that limits my choices.
 
I like th Yeoman. I've managed to find 4 of them. It has all the things I use the most.
 
I like the Spartan Lite a lot. It has an end phillips, a corkscrew and a bright LED light. Another favorite is the Deluxe Tinker, a great compromise between size and tool selection.
 
This one is my favorite! The nail pick with the file on the back comes in real handy. It is an older Golfer model.

I have a few but prefer the 84mm Tourist. Has the tools I use most and just disappears in the pocket. If I lost it, I'd buy another that day.
 
Tinker! But lots of folks swear by the Soldier/pioneer. I also love the equestrian, but I have a purpose for it.
 
I have carried the same SAK since 1991 when I got it at an Eddie Bauer Store in Tulsa Oklahoma with a coupon I won from a sales contest for my company. Its a Wenger SAK. I got it because it had everything on it that I wanted and I had never seen one before or since with all the same tools this one has. It came with pliers, phillips screwdriver instead of the cork screw, serrated scissors, leather punch, bottle opener/screwdriver/wire stripper that is a locking blade when you push on it using the flat head screwdriver, can opener, fingernail file, and locking main blade and a pretty aggressive and capable saw blade. Of course it has the tweezers and tooth pick also.

The original red handle scales came off years ago and I had my friend Dirk (AKA Oupa) put some fiddleback maple scales on it in their place. He has breathed new life into many SAKs in his day and mine is a very good example of his expertise. It looks better than new and still sees duty everyday. The main reason I love this SAK besides my friends personal touch is for the serrated scissors. They simply do not dull. I use them for cutting everything from gun cleaning patches to old credit cards. I also love the pliers which are actually pretty darn handy.

My fav is buy far the Farmer. It has all the feature I want in an everyday use knife, and when I'm out in the field. I use the awl more than I thought I would. It's perfect for a fire striker. Also, if I'm separated from my axe it has a small saw that would be very handy. Small enough to pack everyday, with all the "muscle" I need.
